It was the action that changed everything. In the last quarter of an hour, this Wednesday during the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League between Real Madrid and Manchester City (1-2), Gabriel Jesus equalized from the head (78th), completely reviving his team. A goal maybe marred by a fault of the Brazilian striker. But a goal validated by Mister Orsato. At the time, the Madrilenians protested but the referee quickly made his decision and confirmed the equalization of the Citizens.

“I did not jostle Sergio Ramos, I only pressed my hands (on his back)”, insured the alleged culprit after the game, on the Movistar. An opinion that contrasted with that of his opponents. “I think Gabriel Jesus played it right, just enough to score, said Emilio Butragueno, vice president of Real, on the same channel. The players asked for the foul but the VAR and the referee decided otherwise. “If the VAR has not seen it, there is nothing we can do”added Casemiro, who did not want to argue. The Spanish media did not, however, deprive themselves of it, from the final whistle.
